Might take you up on that, my part still in the mail as well.

I have a soldering iron from radio shack.. I used it one to repair the plug for my head phones

Let me know. I already have everything so you'll only have to pay for shipping to me.

Copper solder wick can remove the solder. I haven't tried Rudeguy's idea, but it sounds pretty good.

It won't be as easy it could be with better equipment, but you can solder rather small things with imprecise instruments. You might have to do some clean up and fix a few solder bridges, but should be doable. See if you can get a smaller tip for your existing iron and get some flux.
